Gorbel® is celebrating their 40th anniversary of providing world class Material Handling solutions
Fishers, NY: Gorbel® Inc., a Victor, NY based manufacturer of material handling and fall protection equipment, is pleased to be celebrating 40 years of manufacturing excellence this year. They will mark the occasion with a large celebration for employees, families, and special guests at their Fishers Run headquarters on Friday, September 8.
Gorbel® was founded by Clarkson graduate Dave Reh in 1977 as a manufacturer of I-Beam Jib Cranes. Over the years, the company expanded its product line and outgrew their original location in Fairport. They moved to their current headquarters on Fishers Run in 1990. In 2003, Dave's son, Brian, became President of Gorbel®.
The Gorbel® product line now includes Work Station Cranes, Gantry Cranes, Cleveland Tramrail® Patented Track Cranes, Tether Track™ Rigid Rail Fall Protection Anchor Systems, and G-Force® Intelligent Lifting Devices.

Gorbel® now employs hundreds of employees worldwide, including over 350 people locally.
